Τhe Messerschmitt Bf109 Early Series (V-1 to E-9 incl. T-Series), Airframe & Miniature 5, Second Edition by Richard A. Franks, Valiant Wings 2022

Valiant Wings Publishing’s next title in the ever-popular Airframe & Miniature series will be an updated, revised and expanded second edition of  The Messerschmitt Bf 109 (Early versions V1 to E-9 including T-series) – A Complete Guide To The Luftwaffe’s Famous Fighter by Richard A. Franks.

This fifth book in the much-acclaimed series has been out of print for a while now. With new early Bf 109 kits now available in all scales, plus a mass of associated accessories and decals, it seemed right to make this book available once again.

  • 3D isometric views of all variants by Jacek Jackiewicz with additions by Juraj Jankovic
  • Full assessments of all the new kit releases since the title's first release in 2014 along with all the existing ones already included in the first edition
  • The extensive build section will be updated with exclusively commissioned builds of the newly-tooled E-series from Wingsy in 1/48th scale by Steve A. Evans as well as the Special Hobby 1/72nd series by Libor Jekl
  • Updated kit, accessory, decal & book appendices
  • Specially commissioned front cover artwork by Jerry Boucher
  • At least 240 pages
